European Parliament
Catherine Stihler  (S&D ),
in writing.
– Since the Lisbon Treaty came into effect, the European institutions have gained responsibility for sport. An EU-level approach allows us to tackle important aspects which affect all Member States, such as obesity and the role sport can play in tackling it. I support this report, which has many good elements. I am glad that wearing the EU flags at major sporting events is not compulsory and at the discretion of those taking part.
